Hi guys!

I mentioned this in the introductions forum, but I don't know how many of you will check there. I would really love to give TV presenting a go, especially cooking programs. I've therefore done a few shows for my uni TV station, and I'd really like to know what you all think. Please have a look at my banoffee pie recipe at:

Hi darkginger! How are you? I'm really glad you like the videos. Have you been cooking anything exciting recently? I made an asian pork belly salad and it was yummy! Stupid work means I can't cook as much as I'd like though

I'm doing good, thanks - made shortbread biscuits for the first time (at my age!) yesterday - they came out really nicely, but were a pain to roll out, as the dough was so crumbly - have since read that it's easier if you chill it and roll between sheets of clingfilm. Live and learn! Other than that I've been experimenting with bread-making (have finally discovered the secret of a crispy crust) and dog biscuits (which are saving us a fortune).

Thanks guys! It means so much that you like it. It's very different people on here saying it's good compared to friends (who are always going to say that!). It kind of makes it more real.

I intend to do a few more when I have a bit of time over half term, and then I'm going to look at sending them on to an agent, as you suggested. It's just so difficult knowing where to start with this kind of thing

Which recipe do you use for shortbread? I absolutely love it, but quite a few recipes use so much butter, that I'm too panicked to make them! Do you tend to roll the mixture into a sausage and cut it out or put it straight into a tin? Thanks, Darkginger!
